Low-level laser therapy is used for smoking cessation and the procedure operates on principles that are similar to the 5,000 year-old ancient Asian healing art of Acupuncture. Acupuncture is known to reduce tension, increase circulation, and enable the body to relax more deeply.

Entrepreneur Craig Nabat, unsuccessfully tried to quit smoking with the nicotine patches and gum, then he soon used laser therapy in Canada to treat his nicotine addiction. He was a former pack and half day smoker before he was treated. Nabat's first-hand battle with nicotine addiction sparked a fire in him to help others struggling to quit smoking. In April 2003, he established Freedom Laser Therapy in Los Angeles, California.

Los Angeles method to help people stop smoking

At Freedom Laser Therapy, low-level laser is applied to energy points throughout your body that are related to nicotine addiction. The Laser Therapy procedure is external, non-invasive, drug free, and non-thermal. During the laser session energy is applied to points on your hands, face, wrist, and ears. If a client feels the sensation from the low-level laser, they may feel a warm, pulsating and sometimes-tingling feeling. While the laser therapy procedure is being performed the client watches a 23-minute video to assist the smoker with overcoming the psychological aspects of quitting smoking and better preparing them for a smoke-free life.
